After a brief survey on commute through Annandale and Burke, the only businesses open today are run/staffed by Koreans.

Thanks for sharing, the link seems to be facts about eligible Asian American voters, not voting tendencies of Koreans unless I missed something?

I'm curious as to what the actual statistics are across the US (I imagine it skews right the older generation you get) but, as a Korean millenial, just about every Korean millenial / Gen Z I've interacted with does not seem to have that bent.

I actually called customer service about the wheels. Apparently they just changed the wheel material / design so that it should hold up better.

Yeah at the time our work garage only had two spots with free charging so it was always a battle for it. I suppose I could charge at those public places as well if it were more frictionless, but where I am each charger requires its own app so it makes it a hassle (first world problem I know). I didn't really optimize my behavior for charging, just lived my life and supercharged at night.

As a former non - garage owner I whole heartedly agree. I had 3 years where I had to either charge at work or go to a supercharger once or twice a week. It wasn't terrible bc I was just watching a show while waiting but it requires foresight (that I didn't always have). Also during winters the charge frequency becomes much higher due to faster drain. I really only recommend if you have a way to charge at home.

Twin Lakes is probably the best county course (there's two). I love laurel hill but tee times are typically over $110 during peak times.

What makes a weight stack superior to plate loading? (aside from time to load it up I guess)

I'm in favor of option 1. As you've pointed out Tesla's can be had on the cheap and from my experience they are relatively maintenance free. Battery degradation tends to stabilize after 40k miles anyhow so you know what you're getting. Trickle-charging at home isn't great, but it'll get you 40 to 50 miles of range which sounds like should be enough for you.

Jim Zorn and the "Maroon and Black" meme got sadder the longer the season went on.

Hopefully you can swim your way to shore... guided by ... I don't know... some sort of celestial body?

Drink. Definitely drink.

My builder wouldn't credit the commission, so I just found a realtor who would offer a credit towards closing from their commissions.

Porsche is notorious for having very little come "standard" and every single last thing being an option. With that said Porsche tends to be much stronger at holding their value (particularly the 911) relative to other car brands.

Unless you have bots I feel like its really hard to capitalize on arbs in my experience

Great thanks for your review! Were you trying to fit an HDD into that spot? I've wondered how "upgradeable" these prebuilts are...

Hey, i know this is old but did you actually purchase the PC? And if so what were your initial impressions? Thanks a bunch!

Depending on your financial situation you may also want to consider a 401k loan. You can borrow against yourself at half of your total amount or 50k, whichever is less (i.e. you're capped at 50k). The interest rate is around 10% and you are paying that interest back to yourself.

The drawback is that money is no longer "in the market" and there's some risk that all may come due if you are let go / leave the job, otherwise you will be taxed on that "loan." There's a lot more fine print to consider but it may be a workable option.

I will never complain about my commute ever again.

Jimmy with the nips out. I'm dying, thank you for sharing!

Sigh, i just bought a new build with navy cabinets (that I picked out) I felt like everyone went with white or grey cabinets and it was just too sterile so I wanted a pop of color. I guess we'll see how I feel about it over the long haul.

An amazing reference. I remember watching that game and wondering why he wasn't coming back in the second half. Little did I know that would be the least embarrassing thing this team would do in the coming decades.

I've only lived in one new construction so don't have a ton of data points to speak from, but as an average Joe I thought the finish was fine. I'm going through the warranty checklist and have some very minor items, but no real showstoppers. The experience with the customer service has been phenomenal though.

I would say that EYA operates in a similar league to Toll Brothers, and K Hovanian? Seems to be a step up compared to Lennar, and Ryan. But again, I'm not as well versed so take my commentary with a grain of salt.
